Really nice setup. I see your amp has dual three pin XLR. Do you happen to know where I can get an adapter to go from single four pin XLR to dual three pin XLR? So I can use my headphones on an amp like this. Hopefully something for $100 or less.

I'm thinking of getting this stand. Was it difficult to assemble? Also where did you get those black shelves?

Where can I get this headband cover? Does it work on other HIfiman headphones? Is the Stealth or Nano better overall than the original?

I think mine is an OTL. My Aeon 2 Noire sound good on it even though planar headphones apparently don't work well with tubes.

Hmm okay thanks. Do Focal headphones generally do well with tube amps?

What about the ZMF Focal pads?

Would the Elex be more of a side grade or an upgrade over the Sennheiser HD6 series? I have three HD6 series headphones now. But I may sell the 660S2.

Damn that is a sweet stack. How do you like the Lokius with the setup?

I got the silver just because one came up on the used market and they almost never do.

There is/was a black version of the Gungnir? I wish I had that one instead of silver.

I tried those and didn't like them at all. Somehow they seem smaller than the original pads. I have Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin pads which are much better. I think it has to do with how much I stretched the headband to relieve the clamp force.

I didn't like the Meze 109 comfort. The elastic headband was such that the ear cups always felt like they were going to slide down my head. As for the 660S2. The stiff ear pads make this very uncomfortable. But also I think I stretched the headband in such a way that now the pads don't seal...

Not sure how I can figure that out. In any case I'm trying the Echo Mk2 as a pre-amp into my Schiit Midgard. So Schiit Gungnir into the Echo Mk2 into the Midgard. I have the Echo Mk2 volume set at 12 o'clock. Still plenty of volume adjustment available on the Midgard. The only downside I see is...

Okay well it was just something I wanted to try out. Cheaper than getting some kind of switcher box.

Why not? Either way I don’t understand why I only get sound from the Midgard if the Echo Mk2 is on. Shouldn’t both amps get a signal even if only one amp is on?

So I bought a pair of XLR splitter cables which allows me to connect two amps from the Gungnir Multibit. So one is the Midgard and the other is the Feliks Echo Mk2 (using XLR to RCA adapters). But an interesting thing has happened. I only get sound from the Midgard if my Echo Mk2 is turned on...

Well if I am going to pay over $1,000 for a set of headphones I want them to sound as best as possible.

Yes it is a good pairing for sure. I put the default mesh back on to give it another try. Seems to make things a bit darker. The bass can be a bit boomy. But with no mesh and the hybrid pads it can sound a touch hollow or echo-like. Not sure of a better word to use. I don't really like the all...

Oh okay. Well I already have an email going with you about my Atticus Cocobolo needing a check up.

I'm not sure if mine is OTL but they work great with my Feliks Echo Mk2 tube amp.

I honestly think that the pre done screw holes in the mesh are too close to the edge. Hence the result above.

Okay so I'm wanting to try out the solid mesh on my Bokeh and this is what happens when I install it. Is this normal? Also two of the screws turn endlessly in the screw holes. Do the screw threads wear out that quickly. This is only the second time I have done this. The last time was simply...

Okay I was just curious as I am very underwhelmed by how these sound. It could very well be as simple as swapping to a different type of pads. But I'm going to send them into ZMF anyways for a check up. I think it would give me peace of mind even if they check them over and they are in good...

So I was curious and took the pad off one of the ear cups of my Atticus and this is what I see. Is this how it is supposed to look? I thought all ZMF headphones had some kind of silver mesh over the driver.

I think the clamp is too much because of how curved the two medal headband wire are. It's too much of a curve so it pushes the ear cups tighter against the head. But I don't think I can bend them to straighten the curve. Then get a longer leather headband strap.
